Simply existing in 2023 is a pretty big deal. It feels like almost everyone I know is feeling some degree of crappy, whether due to their financial status, mental illness, or seasonal depression. But sometimes, you just…get used to it. And sometimes, the pain can transform you. For example, do you ever feel so crappy that the misery seems to transcend into a sort of dark humor ? If not, then we're sorry for you. You see, sometimes when life becomes so cosmically crappy, it can feel a lot like t…

So helpful

Give me mental illness but make it ✨aesthetic✨

Happy Monday, people. Hope you all had wonderful weekends filled with rest, relaxation, and maybe some quality time with loved ones. We realize that's a lot to ask for - most of our weekends are spent doing all the chores we couldn't get to during the week thanks to work. The struggle is real. Anyway, while most of our “free time” was spent

It's just me, myself, and dog

Don't call me without texting first.

My goodness. It really has been a year or two. Honestly, maybe it's more like three. Whatever the case, time is moving quickly, and not in a fun speedy way but in a frantic upsetting way. Maybe it's because as we get older, time starts to feel as though it's moving faster. But, ya know, it could also just be our old friend “crippling depression ” that makes a thick fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While some people are snapping back into place after the pandemic, I still can't help but…

More like zerotonin.

So how long do you mentally prepare in order to leave the house and deal with people?... 24 hours? Cool me too.

For those that don't wanna socialize for the next 340+ days.

To say life isn't fair would be an understatement. I'm currently juggling a million responsibilities, the existential dread of the era, and trying not to absorb the pain of everyone else and everything else that currently surrounds me. It's really difficult to keep it all together. Add that to the prohibitively high cost of therapy and a psychiatrist, and the cocktail isn't one that really makes one feel loosened up. The depression gives way to anxiety, which makes me so tired that it turns bac…

And for my next trick, I'll be breaking my own heart by exaggerating my place in other people's lives

In the words of the popular rock band My Chemical Romance, “I'm nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot okaaaay, I'm not okaaaaaaaay, I'm not o-f*ckin-kay!” Yeah, I might be writing this at the end of a long weekend, but long weekends are just more free time to think about your problems if you're depressed and/or having a total existential crisis . Just kidding. Long weekends are the perfect time to try to ground oneself. While some people may turn to wordy self-help books, therapy sessions (expensiv…

Hahaha, as I write this it's almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon (evening?) and the sun has almost set. By the time I finish this listicle, it will be dark. And I'll feel as though there's nothing left of this cursed day. What will I do next? Well, that depends on my depression level . If it's low, I might actually work out and feel okay about my life. If it's at a medium, I'll probably eat dinner and watch one of my British detective series. And if it's high? Well, you know I'm taking the bong t…

Could you just send a text pls?

FIGHT!
